The Conscious Visionaries Network North Phoenix is to support and work directly with spirit led individuals and organizations that honor higher guidance, power of presence, and lead with compassion and love. It all results in clearer vision, alignment, enthusiasm, performance, grace, and peace. It also leads to abundantly growing revenue streams, income and profits.Are you wondering how you can incorporate this conscious vision into how you do business?We’ve made the path clear with programs, speakers, hands on experiences that will enable you to live you very best life. If you are in business, we will help you grow your business and career through conscious practices.

The research is clear: Putting clearly defined goals down on paper is the biggest difference maker between having big ideas, and having significant accomplishments.

For many this has been a work driven exercise, as businesses long ago realized the value of the practice. Yet, the practice can have profound effects on personal matters as well.

What are your career goals, aside of those of your company’s?How about your ideals for your health, personal finances, and relationships?Do you know what you want clearly enough to give yourself a chance of getting it?

Getting to know this is life’s great adventure, and most find, a journey best enjoyed with a partner. So bring yours, and come as a team, to clarify your goals and work together on creating a visual representation of these to keep as a reminder. I will guide you through a process of organizing your thoughts (and maybe some crazy dreams) onto a board using materials you harvest from available magazines. You are welcome to bring images of your own and freelance as you will. Just come and have fun, while building a roadmap for the future for each, and both of you.

Invest in your future by setting some time aside to create a vision you both feel inspired to follow in the coming months!

Art Supplies will be provided. Bring your own magazines, if you would like.

A Home for Practitioners is a chance to gather and connect with other practitioners who understand what it means to be out there doing your work and just be you.

Each month we will have a theme, a time of sharing and connecting and a time to look at your business from that theme and see what happens.

This is a catered luncheon and space is limited to 15 people so register early!

These gatherings will happen monthly. Come to one or come to them all!
